INGREDIENTS.--7 oz. of carrot, 10 oz. of parsnip, 10 oz. of potato, cut into thin slices; 1-1/4 oz. of butter, 5 teaspoonfuls of flour, a teaspoonful of made mustard, salt and pepper to taste, the yolks of 2 eggs, rather more than 2 quarts of water.

Mode.--Boil the vegetables in the water 2-1/2 hours; stir them often, and if the water boils away too quickly, add more, as there should be 2 quarts of soup when done. Mix up in a basin the butter and flour, mustard, salt, and pepper, with a teacupful of cold water; stir in the soup, and boil 10 minutes. Have ready the yolks of the eggs in the tureen; pour on, stir well, and serve.

Time.--3 hours.

Seasonable in winter.

Sufficient for 8 persons.

About

I decided to start this blog after browsing Project Gutenberg's collection of cookery books. I have always been a fan of older recipes (my favourite cookbook being one from the 1960s), although these are a little older! I thought that putting the recipes in a blog format would be more appealing than in their text forms, but I am greatly indebted to, and encourage all to go to, gutenberg.org and download the books in their original form.
